No Payments for 90 Days

Sometimes the timing is the hardest part, down payment, registration, insurance, maybe a few upgrades (floor mats are basically required by tradition).

With this special, approved current members can defer their first payment for 90 days, giving you breathing room while you settle into your new ride and new budget.

Tip: If you’d rather start paying sooner, you can, paying early is always allowed.

Newer vs. Older Vehicles

Whether you’re going with something newer or something with a little more road wisdom, we’ll help you finance it the right way.

  • Vehicles 5 years old or newer: Great for newer purchases and may qualify for higher financing options.
  • Vehicles older than 5 years: Still eligible for financing, just expect loan-to-value (LTV) and rate qualifications to be based on the vehicle’s age and value.

Make the Deal Stronger with Pre-Approval

Want an easier car-buying experience? Get pre-approved first. It helps you:

  • Shop with a clear budget
  • Move faster at the dealership (or in a private sale)
  • Focus on the right vehicle, not the “what if” math

Quick FAQs

No—rates are based on creditworthiness, term, and vehicle factors. “As low as” means well-qualified borrowers may be eligible for the lowest APR.


Not necessarily. Your first payment may be deferred, but interest may still accrue during the deferral period depending on your loan terms.


Ask about setting up AutoPay and any available discounts. The lowest advertised rate may include an AutoPay-related discount.
